Biggest opportunity: Swap “cache”, “optimize” and “pagespeed” for “90”, “pass” and “vitals”. “cache” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “90” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “optimize” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pass” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pagespeed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “vitals” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 205.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 56 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

BerqWP is the most easy to use speed plugin that makes your site go fast.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bouzin5mo ago
BerqWP is honestly the best WordPress performance plugin I have tested so far. It is very easy to configure, even without being a technical expert, and the results are excellent. The plugin is clear, efficient, and extremely powerful. What I really like is that it improves performance without making the setup complicated. Everything feels simple, clean, and effective. After testing several optimization plugins, BerqWP is the one that impressed me the most. Highly recommended.

This plugin I used on my website and it was simply amazing; the speed performance of PSI is 90+ always and the site speed was also good.But there is some problem that needs improvement in CDN performance. Overall great product!

The plugin used to work just fine, to an extent, with a bunch of smaller issues which we rectified with custom code instead (the developer to this day refuses to acknowledge those issues and/or fix them in his code and keeps ignoring our repeat reminders of those issues), but in the last month or two the functionality of the plugin has degraded so much, even after so many updates and “improvements”, to the point where it doesn’t even cache pages anymore – it says it will start caching within 5 minutes, but 2 days later we have yet to see a single page cached.A single developer behind the plugin with no support team doesn’t help the situation, as I’m sure he is getting slammed with support tickets (which he rarely answers – we’ve gotten some sort of a response or two after a few weeks but only after repeat follow-ups to our issues), and as such this plugin has turned into a dead weight, something with tons of promises but zero delivery whatsoever.Seems like we’ll have to remove it from a few dozen sites we installed it on and replace it with something more reliable instead, as anything at this point would work so much better than this plugin. The developer of this plugin has bit more than he could chew on this one, apparently, and now it’s starting to show, and he refused to hire help (developers or tech support) to fix the ongoing issues that have been lingering for months and are affecting the basic, core functionality of the plugin.

For a normal WP site, in my case built with Brizy, it even works in aggressive mode without breaking things. A year ago it broke the same site. Meanwhile the developers obviously improved this. On FlyWP, Alwyzon and Cloudflare the site is fast, but didn’t have good pagespeedinsights, gtmetrix scores. With the plugin perfect scores. I think best is to avoid mixing it with any other optimization plugins like image optimization. And don’t mix it with Cloudflare rocket loader or similar. So finally I think this is the perfect few click wp optimization plugin working seemlessly with cloudflare.

Third time really is the charm. BerqWP used to break my site, but after consistent updates and hard work from the team, it’s now running smoothly and working great. Props to the developer for sticking with it and improving the product.

We purchased the unlimited plan. We have 60+ sites we began to deploy on and all we’re doing now is troubleshooting issues and eventually uninstalling berqwp which fixes the issues. This plugin is not stable, even for a standard tech stack or the most popular themes. Never had one response from support.
